threads since Aurora.

The callas self serving attitude that gun owners posted says to me they feel that no matter how much gun violence occurs, or much it increases they really don't give a shit because they have the right to be a own guns. I am convinced that they will be more gun violence not less and people will demand that gun ownership be limited.
